Biography
C. A. Drew was an IWW member from Susanville. C. A. Drew received a four-year prison sentence, which he served in San Quentin from March 31, 1923, until his term expired.
The International Labor Defense holiday roster in the December 29, 1925 Daily Worker lists this prisoner, printed as C. A. Drew, at San Quentin California. Its printed identifier is 37654; this is a prison number or mailing designation, not a year or a custody date. This documents confinement at the roster’s reporting time, without establishing an admission, transfer, release, new conviction or complete duration. Existing independently sourced custody chronology remains separate. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1925/1925-ny/v02b-n297-NYE-dec-29-1925-DW-LOC.pdf#page=5
The January 28, 1924 issue of The Daily Worker individually listed C. A. Drew among the political and class-war prisoners at San Quentin State Prison in California, in an appeal to fund newspaper subscriptions for imprisoned people. This is a contemporary custody observation; the publication date does not establish admission, release, or a total period served.
The February 26, 1924 Daily Worker political-prisoner roster individually prints C. A. Drew with historical prisoner number 37654. The entry appears under San Quentin State Prison, California. This is a contemporary institutional identifier, not a federal BOP register number. No admission or release date, individual sentence length, actual duration, organizational membership or present status is inferred.
